Top 5 defenders ever in my view. Thurmond was a monster, as both Russell and Wilt have said. Robinson might be a hair better but it's so close. Both...

How do they compare offensively? Who's had the more diverse game and more offensively dominant? Who has had less help winning a chip?

I'd trust Tim against anybody in a big game 7. I wouldn't trust Giannis at all against a legit defense, let alone an all-time-level defense.
